Another Japanese series headed to U.S

By James Hibberd

Continuing the recent television industry embrace of Japanese-inspired competition shows, a Hollywood producer has picked up the rights to "Masquerade," a contest billed as Japan's longest-running hit series,

Contestants use costumes, props, sets and their bodies to create live visual performances that trick the eye. Several of the clips have clocked millions of hits on YouTube. "Masquerade" debuted in 1979.

Vin Di Bona Prods. ("America's Funniest Home Videos") will shop the concept to networks in an effort to produce a U.S. version.

This show strikes me as being the most original concept in television that I've seen since 'Home Videos,"' Di Bona said. "It's already become a cultural phenomenon in Japan and I see that potential here."

Japanese-inspired unscripted shows have become the latest reality trend, with ABC debuting "I Survived a Japanese Game Show" and "Wipeout" this month, and Fox readying "Hole in the Wall" for later this year.

I have watched this twice. Pretty funny to watch those people bounce off the big balls - but don't think it will last long

I got bored the second time around on this. I don't see it lasting too much longer either.

Do you think you can survive the big red balls? I still think I have the skills to do it. But that is just the younger me talking

It's funny, I said to my wife that I can do it. She just laughed. lol

This is really boring now. How many times can you watch someone bounce off the "big balls" and laugh. I do appreciate the sucker punch wall though

The show is worthless. I don't even watch it anymore. Just delete from the DVR. But I still watch I survived a jap game show that is good stuff.
